You have chosen to major in History, the most exciting and useful of all academic disciplines (at least your professors think so). The study of history serves intellectual, civic, and moral purposes. Intellectually, it hones the mind through the critical use of evidence and logic as we grapple with the complexities of the past. On a civic level, the study of history teaches us about the origins, evolution, and meaning of our institutions and ideals. Morally, history teaches us about the causes and consequences of human decisions and actions; it enables us to examine both the venality and virtue of humankind. History also exposes us to the wonder of the human condition, from the grand sweeping narrative to the exciting details that add spice to the story. Welcome to the journey that we shall take together down the highways and byways of the past. This Handbook is dedicated to you, the student of history. It is your guide through the labyrinth of your degree program. Keep your Handbook throughout your association with the Department. It will help you plan your program and maintain a record of your progress toward the degree, and it even has some hints on what to do after you graduate. Reading and following its precepts does not guarantee eternal bliss; doing so, however, increases your chances of a less stressful, more successful academic experience. We thank the Departments of Communication Studies, Management, and Psychology, all of which generously donated copies of their handbooks for use as models. Special thanks go to the thousands of students who have passed through this University as our advisees. Their comments, questions, and suggestions are the basis of this work. This Handbook surveys the academic programs, policies and procedures in effect at the time of its revision (Spring 2014). Policies and procedures change; their interpretations change even more rapidly. For your peace of mind, obtain a copy of the University Catalog for the year in which you first matriculated. If you are a first-year student, you should have received one during Orientation. If you did not, get one from the Admissions Office at 25 University Avenue. While we have made every effort to ensure that this Handbook is in concert with the catalog, the catalog is the final authority. Teacher certification students should also keep current with pamphlets and other announcements from the College of Education. 4 | P a g e Some prospective social studies teachers think that because they are going to teach, they are majoring in Education. Not true. The Pennsylvania Department of Education requires you to major in an academic discipline if you plan to teach. That is why your degree is a Bachelor of Arts with Elective Certification. The History Department in the College of Arts and Humanities provides 39 of the credits you will earn at West Chester. The Secondary Education Department in the College of Education and Social Work is responsible for 34 of your credits. The BA program requires more credits than a BSED offered at other PASSHE schools because you take more History credits and complete a Foreign Language requirement in addition to the Education credits. Here are the advantages, however. You are better prepared to teach history but also the other social studies disciplines. You engage in historical thinking and research, skills you want to teach to your own future students. If you change your mind about teaching, you can easily graduate with the BA and be ready for other careers or graduate programs. If you begin with the BA only and later decide you want to teach, you can easily come back for the M.Ed. program. Then you earn an advanced degree as you get certified in Social Studies. The BA gives you the most flexibility and preparation for teaching but also for many other careers. This Handbook is constantly being revised and, we hope, improved. Your suggestions are welcomed, but remember that the University Catalog supersedes any policies found in the following pages. If you think of information that ought to be included, however, please tell the chair or assistant chair. FACULTY AND STAFF The History faculty is dedicated to good teaching and solid scholarship. We are anchored by the experience of the most senior members of the faculty and invigorated by fresh ideas from the newest members of the professoriate.

  • „Innenansichten“ Von Der „Flüchtlingskirche“ Zur
    Josef Pilvousek „Innenansichten“ Von der „Flüchtlingskirche“ zur „katholischen Kirche in der DDR“ Die katholische Kirche auf dem Gebiet der neuen Bundesländer ist seit der Reformation eine Minderheitenkirche gewesen. Erst seit dem Ende des 18. Jahrhunderts wurde sie quantitativ durch verschiedene Zuwanderungen, vor allem aus katholischen Teilen Deutschlands und Europas, bedeutsam. Infolge der Fluchtbewegungen zum Ende des Zweiten Weltkrieges sowie der sich anschließenden politischen Umbrüche änderte sich die Situation für die katholische Kirche in diesem Raum grundsätzlich, ohne daß sie aber den Charakter einer Diasporakirche je verloren hätte. Die Katholikenzahlen stiegen in solchem Ausmaß,daß zahlreichen Neugründungen von Pfarreien und Gottesdienststationen notwendig wurden. Die jurisdiktionellen Verhältnisse waren – abgesehen von den Bistümern Berlin und Dresden – weitgehend ungeklärt und bedurften einer Neuordnung. Die Mobilität der Vertriebenen und die vorerst weiter bestehende Hoffnung auf Rückkehr in die Heimat verhinderten eine schnelle Integration in die Stammgemeinden. Die Mentalität der vertriebenen Volksgruppen prägte zunehmend bestehende Frömmigkeits- formen und somit die Seelsorge. Als politische Entscheidungen der Hoffnung auf Rückkehr der Flüchtlinge ein Ende setzten und die innerdeutsche Grenze errichtet und immer undurchlässiger wurde, mußten von kirchenamtlicher Seite Möglichkeiten gesucht werden, der Kirche in diesem Raum Wege in die Zukunft zu eröffnen. Zunächst nur als Provisorien und Interimslösungen gedacht, entstanden allmählich feste Strukturen und Organisationsformen. Die folgenden Ausführungen wollen die Entwicklung der katholischen Kirche auf dem Gebiet der SBZ/DDR von einer Flüchtlingskirche zu einer Ortskirche, die sich als „Kirche in der DDR“ verstand, aufzeigen. Katholische Kirche 1135 1. Flucht oder Bleiben? Ein traditionelles Problem der DDR-Katholiken1 1.1. Statistische Grundlagen Die nachfolgenden Zahlen sollen Entwicklungen und Tendenzen aufzeigen.

  • Die Pastoralsynode Der Katholischen Kirche in Der DDR (1973–1975) 41 Such Gemacht Wurde, Politisch Einfluss Zu Nehmen
    Josef Pilvousek Die Pastoralsynode der katholischen Kirche PThI in der DDR (1973–1975) Pastoraltheologische Am 30. November 1975, dem 1. Adventssonntag, schloss die Pastoralsynode der Jurisdiktionsgebiete in der DDR in Dresden mit einem Pontifikalamt in der Informationen Dresdner Hofkirche. Alfred Kardinal Bengsch, der Synodenpräsident, glaubte in seiner Predigt Befürchtungen hinsichtlich ihrer Nichtrezeption ausräumen zu müssen, indem er unterstrich, dass mit dem Ende der Synode nicht alles abgetan sei, „was an Worten und Erkenntnissen in der Synode war“1. Warum Bengsch zu dem feierlichen Anlass Vermutungen einer Nichtrezeption aus- drücklich thematisierte, muss die Synodenteilnehmer damals zumindest ver- wundert haben. 2 40 Jahre Gemeinsame Synode Heute, 35 Jahre später, ist diese Synode nahezu vergessen; ihre Doku- der Bistümer in der Bundesrepublik Deutschland mente sind bis auf wenige Ausnahmen nicht rezipiert. Hat möglicherweise der Berliner Kardinal dies schon 1975 vorausgesehen und mit einer floskelhaften (1971–1975) Bekundung Enttäuschungen vorbeugen wollen? Wie es zu dieser Synode kam, wie sie ablief, und was der mögliche Grund für die geringe Rezeption Teil 1 gewesen sein kann, soll im Folgenden überblicksartig darstellt werden. 1. Konzilsrezeption Was vorab als Selbstverständlichkeit angesehen werden könnte – Konzilsre- zeption und katholische Synode in der damaligen DDR – bedarf einiger ein- führender Erläuterungen. Ein Vergleich mit der katholischen Kirche in der Bundesrepublik Deutschland bietet sich an, der zunächst wenig Unterschei- dendes zu bieten vermag. Viele innerkirchliche Entwicklungen, wenn auch zeitversetzt, gleichen de- nen in der alten Bundesrepublik. Phänomene wie Demokratisierungstenden- zen, Basisgruppen und Friedensbewegung sind zu finden. Die Befürchtun- gen, der totalitäre Staat würde eine Teilnahme der ostdeutschen Ordinarien am Konzil nicht gestatten, hatten sich als unbegründet erwiesen.

  • The Catholic Church in the GDR: a Look Back in Anger
    The Catholic Church in the GDR: a Look Back in Anger FR HANS-FRIEDRICH FISCHER I would like to look back with you over the 45-year history of the Catholic Church on the territory of the present GDR. You will soon see that I am looking back with mixed feelings. The Catholic Church in the GDR was and still is a diaspora church. In 1988 the population of the GDR was 16.5 million: of these one million were Catholics, some six per cent of the population. It was refugees after the Second World War who first gave a big boost to the number of Catholics in what was to become the GDR. The influx of believers from Silesia, Pomerania, East Prussia, the Sudetenland and Hungary marked a new beginning in pastoral activity. At the same time, tried and tested church structures wen! being reestablished and consolidated. The period up to the building of the Wall could be called 'the phase of unbroken Catholicism'. The concepts Christianity, Catholicism and Catholic Church were to all intents and purposes identical for the majority of Christians. The faith of this diaspora church which had suddenly grown so much in size found self-confident expression in a rich variety of ceremonies, festivals and holy days throughout the church's year. The already existing religious traqitions were supplemented by traditions brought in by the immigrants. Many parishes came back to life at this time. For many of the new arrivals, the church became their 'sacred homeland', to use a slogan from the contemporary pastoral programme of the· Leipzig -Oratorium.

  • “Equal but Not the Same”: the Struggle for “Gleichberechtigung” and the Reform of Marriage and Family Law in East and West Germany, 1945–1968
    “EQUAL BUT NOT THE SAME”: THE STRUGGLE FOR “GLEICHBERECHTIGUNG” AND THE REFORM OF MARRIAGE AND FAMILY LAW IN EAST AND WEST GERMANY, 1945–1968 Alexandria N. Ruble A dissertation submitted to the faculty of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Department of History. Chapel Hill 2017 Approved by: Karen Hagemann Konrad H. Jarausch Susan Dabney Pennybacker Donald M. Reid Katherine Turk © 2017 Alexandria N. Ruble ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ii ABSTRACT Alexandria N. Ruble: “Equal but Not the Same”: The Struggle for “Gleichberechtigung” and the Reform of Marriage and Family Law in East and West Germany, 1945–1968 (Under the direction of Karen Hagemann) This dissertation explores the interplay of political, social, and economic factors that first prevented and later led, despite all resistance, to the reform of family law in East and West Germany in the 1950s and early 1960s. After 1945, Germans inherited a Civil Code that dated back to 1900 and had designated women as second-class citizens in marriage, parental rights, and marital property. In the postwar period, in the context of the founding of the East and West German states and the rising Cold War, female activists in both Germanys revived the old feminist goal of reforming civil law, but faced fierce resistance from Protestant and Catholics. After much struggle, legislators in both states replaced the old law with two new, competing versions that purported to expand women’s rights in marital and familial matters. I argue that the East-West German competition in the Cold War provided the momentum to finally accomplish the long-desired reforms.

Forschungsstand Die Geschichte der katholischen Kirche in der DDR ist bislang noch kaum erforscht, so daß Horst Dähn mit Recht die Forschungslage als „besonders defizitär“ bezeichnen kann1. Vor 1989 war dieses Forschungsdefizit vor allem darauf zurückzuführen, daß weder die DDR-Staatsführung noch die katholi- sche Kirche den für historisches Arbeiten unerläßlichen Quellenzugang ermög- lichten, daß andererseits aber auch die dezidierte politische Zurückhaltung der katholischen Kirche in der DDR sowie ihre zahlenmäßig geringere Bedeutung eine Erforschung ihrer Geschichte weniger reizvoll erscheinen ließ als die der evangelischen Kirchen. Trotzdem hat es vor 1989 einzelne Versuche gegeben, wenigstens die anhand von publizistischen Quellen feststellbaren kirchenpolitischen Entwicklungen 1DÄHN, Kirchen, S. 835. 876 von Hehl/Tischner nachzuzeichnen. Die einzige Gesamtdarstellung ist die 1980 in zweiter Auflage erschienene Arbeit „Gemeinden in der Bewährung“ des West-Berliner Prälaten Wolfgang Knauft, die einen grundlegenden Überblick bietet und teilweise sogar unpublizierte Quellen heranzieht, allerdings etliche innerkirchliche Ent- wicklungen nicht benennt.

A Dissertation submitted to the Faculty of the Graduate School, Marquette University, in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy Milwaukee, Wisconsin December 2012 ABSTRACT YVES CONGAR, O.P.: ECUMENICIST OF THE TWENTIETH CENTURY AND THE THEOLOGIAN OF VATICAN II Paul R. Caldwell, B.A., M.P.T., J.D. Marquette University, 2012 While the name “Yves Congar” is recognizable by theologians and others there is a gap between recognition and familiarity: awareness that there was an Yves Congar is distinguished from knowing what he stood for and what he did. Eight years before Vatican II Congar was so distrusted by the Church that he was “distanced” from France for almost two years. Yet, several years after Vatican II he was elevated from priest to Cardinal in one day. Congar’s nouvelle théologie of ecumenism and unity, ressourcement and reform, changed the face of the Church to the world. In this, Congar had an impact on countless human beings. Many of his works, however, required translation from French, some for the first time. In this dissertation, Congar’s Principles of Ecumenism were systematically organized.

  • Josef Pilvousek
    JOSEF PILVOUSEK KATHOLISCHE KIRCHE IN DER DDR. KIRCHE FÜR DIE GESELLSCHAFT? Als Vortragsreisender in Sachen Kirchengeschichte der DDR habe ich seit 10 Jahren vor unterschiedlichsten Hörerkreisen gesprochen. Die Erwartungshaltung der Hörer an den Vortra- genden entsprach, vor allem in den ersten Jahren nach der „Wende" und vor allem bei DDR-Bürgern, selten dem, was ein Historiker leisten kann. Ich wurde gefragt, wie denn die Kirche ihre spezifische DDR-Identität in der neuen Gesellschaft be- wahren und das Erhaltenswerte „hinüberretten" kann. Andere Fragen betrafen die Gründe für den Sieg der „friedlichen Re- volution", die Stellung der Katholiken bei der „Wende" und immer wieder auch, ob die Kirche nicht versagt habe. Auf alle diese Fragen konnte und wollte ich nur als Historiker antwor- ten; so waren die Antworten zugegebenermaßen für die Fra- genden unbefriedigend. Ich werde mich weiterhin und auch heute um eine historische Darstellung des Themas mühen. An ein weiteres Phänomen erinnere ich mich. Waren unter den Zuhörern Personen, die in der DDR zu den „kirchlichen Repräsentanten" zählten, galt es auf die Wahl einer Präposi- tion zu achten. Nach einem Vortrag wurde ich heftigst atta- ckiert. Ein Prälat unterstellte mir, ich hätte die katholische Kir- che in meiner Darstellung mit der DDR-Gesellschaft identifi- ziert, zu der man aber immer auf Distanz gegangen sei. Es habe nie eine katholische Kirche der DDR gegeben, sondern man habe bewusst immer von der katholischen Kirche in der DDR gesprochen, um deutlich zu machen, dass sich die Kir- che nicht vereinnahmen ließ. Ich hatte, ganz sicher ohne Ab- sicht, die Präposition vergessen. Da es nur eine katholische Kirche in der DDR gab und diese sich, vor allem in den letzten Jahren der DDR zwar als ein kleiner, aber zunehmend auch 93 Josef Pilvousek kirchenpolitisch brisanter Faktor profilierte, glaubte ich die diesen Fall nach sich ziehende Präposition unterschlagen zu können.

  • The Catholic Church in Eastern Germany: Strategies and Rhetoric of a Changing Minority*
    Religion, State & Society, Vo!. 28, No. 2, 2000 The Catholic Church in Eastern Germany: Strategies and Rhetoric of a Changing Minority* BARBARA THERIAULT The Catholic Church that occupies the territory of the new German states has been a minority church since the Reformation. I Unlike Catholics in other minority and hostile situations, such as Northern Ireland, however, Catholics in East Germany did not use the universalist aspect of their church's ideology to translate it into an assertion of universal rights; nor did some propensity to martyrdom drive them to heroic actions.2 Instead, Catholics in the GDR lived a ghetto existence. Whereas Protestants are remembered for their role in the 1980s and the Peaceful Revolution, the Catholic Church played a minor, unobtrusive role in the country's political life and was known as the 'Church of Silence'.3 Yet German unification endowed Catholic organisations with a new role in the eastern German Uinder (the regional states on the territory of the former GDR) that had previously been characterised by hostile policies towards religious organisations. German unification according to Article 23 of the West German Grundgesetz (Basic Law or Constitution) extended the institutions and structures of the Federal Republic to the East.' By the same token, East German Catholicism was integrated into the structures of West German Catholicism. Catholics have accordingly become part of an elaborate network of associations. Indeed, with its creation of new structures, restoration or expansion of older ones and takeover of formerly state-run social institutions, and with the political power now wielded by Catholics in political office, all of this constituting 'die Katholizierung von oben', to paraphrase a cynical Protestant theologian,s the Catholic Church in the new German states has, since the fall of the Berlin Wall, often been seen as an ambitious minority organisation.
